review-heatmap VS fsrs4anki

- Review Heatmap using "Magenta" theme: https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/1771074083

Basically, typical Anki users use heatmaps to measure amount of learning. colors and number of cards in the heatmap clearly indicate whether a user is learning enthusiastically or not, so screenshots are intuitive.

When it comes to staying consistent with Anki, I would recommend installing the Review Heatmap plugin . With it, I was able to study for 690 days without missing one day.

Review Heatmap (https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/1771074083) Information on the current streak is displayed alongside the heatmap!

1) Review Heatmap. This add-on is very popular for tracking your progress, and chances are you've heard about it already considering how many people post their streaks.

Review heatmap: create a calendar of reviews.

! It looks like you have an older version of the add-on installed. Please uninstall it under Tools → Add-ons, restart Anki, and then reinstall Review Heatmap from its AnkiWeb listing here: https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/1771074083 (code: 1771074083). After restarting Anki a second time, everything should hopefully be back to working order.

For note-taking specifically, I've tried everything from plain old pen and paper to more modern solutions like Evernote and emacs (if you can call that modern), but nothing I've come across really beats Anki.

Although its main selling point is as a program for flashcards with spaced repetition, it comes with pretty much all the features of a good note-taking app, like tags, easy to organize, synchronization across devices (you can set up your own server), good interface for searching through your notes (which are stored in an Sqlite db if that matters), and yes, LaTeX. Not only that, it's also highly extendable with third-party plugins, so if there are features that you miss chances are there's a plugin for it. In other words, you can use it perfectly fine just taking notes. However, where it really shines is in all of this in combination the spaced repetition algorithm, which is now on steroids with FSRS[1][2]. The downside is that for this to be effective for the things you want to memorize, you'll have to write your notes to be suitable for a flashcard, but if you do it consistently you'll soon notice that you can store most of your notes in your head (needless to say, any student would greatly benefit from this). Now, if that's too much work, you can still just use the scheduling to have it remind you of your notes. Either way, even as someone who sometimes goes out of his way to shoehorn everything into Emacs, I can't see a reason not to use anki for note-taking.

I recommend the new algorithm of Anki: https://github.com/open-spaced-repetition/fsrs4anki

It would be nice if you could report this on Github. You can do it here: https://github.com/open-spaced-repetition/fsrs4anki/issues/n...

As for randomly getting a lot of reviews, honestly, no idea. You should submit an issue on github: https://github.com/open-spaced-repetition/fsrs4anki/issues/new/choose

u/PoppingWebster, here's a guide on how to use built-in FSRS in the latest version of Anki: https://github.com/open-spaced-repetition/fsrs4anki/blob/main/docs/tutorial.md

You can watch AnKing's video and read this guide.

use FSRS tho

More information on the new scheduling algorithm:

FWIW I've been using it for the last 10 days and it's finally resolved some of my pain points about having to trial-and-error adjust the old scheduling algorithm, since the content of each deck can greatly affect what the optimal retention is. Now you can just retrain the weights for each deck you have and it will adapt appropriately. The paper is also definitely worth reading if you want to see some rigorous analysis of large-scale real-world spaced repetition science.
